These Last Days is a book about an evil age, the present age.

Specifically, it is about the present evil age that we live in right now. For many Christians, the expression these last days refers to the time right before the second coming of Christ but according to the apostles, the last days started with the first coming of Christ and continue even today.

How do we biblically understand our time as the final age of world history? What does this mean for our faith?

Reformed Christians have often avoided the field of eschatology but it was this doctrine of history that thrilled the first disciples. They realized that with the coming of the last days they had entered the time of the kingdom, and this understanding will strengthen our faith too.

Here the Philadelphia Conference on Reformed Theology addresses this important topic and presents the following speakers insights on:

Sinclair Ferguson: The Christ of History

D. A. Carson: This Present Evil Age

Alistair Begg: The Age of the Spirit

Michael S. Horton: The Resurrection Hope

J. Ligon Duncan III: The Eternal Glory

D. A. Carson: Partakers of the Age to Come

Cornelis P. Venema: The Four Main Millennial Views

Richard D. Phillips: A Pastoral Guide to Life After Death

Jeffrey K. Jue: Evangelical Eschatology, American Style

Paul David Tripp: The Radical Implications of Eternity

Together some of the most gifted communicators of God s Word explain the Christian s view on life, death, and the hereafter.

Editorial Reviews

"Christians live to serve the living and true God not in a vacuum but as they wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead (I Thessalonians 1:9-10). This waiting service of the church, bracketed between its Lord's resurrection and return, occupies this collection of uniformly sound and helpful addresses on biblical eschatology. Here is a wealth of biblical teaching about Christs return, events that will accompany it and the eternal state that follows, as well as how we are to live presently in the light of that hope. The appearance of this volume is most welcome. I commend it highly."

This is a book about the times we live in and the end of these days. It was great to see many men who believe so much in the Lord. I enjoy growing in my understanding of the times we live in. I long for the end of the race on many days. The history of this world and the insight that these men have is helpful to pull more out of my Bible. I always hold the Books up to the Bible. It is realistic that I do not agree with everyone one's views but for the most part they seem to align with the Bible's view point. It is hard some days to hear the current trends on this world from inside the Church. I am thankful for men who hold onto the historical perspective that this world is a dying place.

I would like to thank Net Galley and P & R Publishing for allowing me to read and review this book in return for a free copy and was never asked to write a favorable review by anyone.
